One also sees it done with the arms bent more. Is one less prone to injury with the arms straight?

Excellent question! To impress people, bend your elbows about 90 degrees but for a safe workout keep them straight. Why? In this exercise the pecs provide a torque around your shoulder. My pecs are capable of generating about 195 ft-lbs of torque - that is, a force of 65lbs at 3' from the shoulder joint. Now if I bend my elbows 90 degrees, the weight is only 1.5' from my shoulder and with my 195ft-lbs of torque I can now use 130lb dumbbells and not work any harder!

I agree, throw in a bit of advice so we can understand why you're doing it the way you are.
That would be great! I'll subscribe to your channel

Is this supposed to be instructional? Or just "Hey look what I can do." Some type of verbal instruction, commentary or voice over would really be helpful if this is supposed to be teaching people anything.

This was one of my earlier videos before I had a microphone on my computer to do voice overs. At some point I will add voice overs to this one too.

IMO, flyes are the most important chest exercise there is. And nicely executed here!
